How can a tutor help you with summer tutoring?

Just because the school year has ended for the summer doesn't mean your child's learning must also come to an end. The summer provides an excellent opportunity for students to address any academic weaknesses and prepare for the next school year. Whether they need to work on study skills, mathematics, reading, or another academic subject, experienced tutors in the Chicago area can help give structure to your child's summer learning. Varsity Tutors excels at connecting students with talented tutors who are experts in their field.

The structure of regular tutoring sessions helps to keep your child academically focused so they do not need to warm up to school after the end of summer vacation. Summer tutoring in Chicago, Illinois, helps encourage success by reviewing academic content during the summer months and previewing new content. Varsity Tutors will match a tutor to your child's individual needs, ensuring they reap the greatest benefits possible from their summer tutoring experience.

In addition to summer tutoring for students in the fifth through twelfth grades, tutoring services for new high school graduates heading to college are also available. The first summer before college is a critical time to begin building the independence and study skills necessary for success at the postsecondary level. During the months following a student's graduation, experienced tutors can prepare your young adult for the rigors of college work before the pressure begins. Instead of being overwhelmed when the first semester starts, your child can be ready to dive in. This initial transition can make a large difference in establishing the success of their undergraduate studies.

Experienced tutors offer test prep, academic tutoring, and tutoring in electives such as languages and computer science. Tutoring sessions are individualized to match each student's schedule and academic growth. Summertime is one of the most important periods in determining the strength of a student's academic performance in the coming school year. Professional tutors work with each student to counter summer learning loss, catch up, review, or get ahead. Ensure success for the coming school year and give your student the best advantage with a custom summer tutoring program.

Summer is the perfect time for students to prepare for important admissions tests. Experienced tutors can help students achieve an exceptional score and significantly improve their chances of admission to their top-choice school. Tutors thoroughly assess each student's particular needs, develop an individually tailored study plan, and provide the attention and expertise that maximizes their score potential. Tutors are dedicated to ensuring their students stay on schedule and make consistent progress.

Talented private tutors are available to meet individually with students in their homes, or another location of their choice. Sessions can be scheduled around travel. Sessions can even be conducted face-to-face online through our live learning platform if students will be away from the Chicago area. Summer tutors recognize that many students travel a substantial amount during the summer and can provide a customized schedule and learning plan that accommodates that upcoming trip to Italy in June or the Colorado backpacking adventure in July. Personal summer tutoring sessions provide the flexibility and academic assistance students need to thrive throughout the summer and prepare for upcoming academic challenges.

From math and science to literature and Latin, Varsity Tutors can help students connect to a skilled tutor in a subject area of their choice to deliver customized instruction that is both challenging and fun. Caring and skilled tutors identify the underlying difficulties each child is experiencing and individualize their instruction to reflect their specific learning style.

Recent Tutoring Session Reviews

"The student and I had a good session tonight. We began our session with some reading comprehension exercises. I have been focusing on helping him identify main idea and key messages of passages, as this seems to be more difficult for him than recalling details. We also did a brief exercise where he had to proofread various paragraphs and correct any grammar/spelling errors that he found. I reminded him that reading aloud in your head or even say sentences out loud will often help you to find errors. We then worked on a writing assignment, for which Justin had to write a movie review. The point of the task was to teach how to organize your thoughts and ideas. I also took the time to discuss with him the need to think on a larger level when he approaches writing and to really work on developing his thoughts and ideas rather than just giving one detail and being done. Good session!"

"The student and I worked through a close reading of several pages of Kant's Groundwork, paying special attention to Kant's argument for the categorical imperative. We noted that several of Kant's arguments are rather weak once they are unraveled and laid bare. We also noted Kant's insistence upon differentiating rational beings from human beings may remove his theory from applicability to human life. She engages quite well in discussion over philosophical ideas and asks incisive questions, which make my sessions with her some of my favorite ever."

"He completed writing the first half of his World Geography final report. We planned out how he will complete the rest of the report during our next session, so that he will have the project completed well before its due date."

"The student and I spoke about diuretic drugs today. First we went into physiology of the kidney, and afterwards we discussed the 5 different types of diuretic medications, their mechanism of action, and where specifically in the kidney they act. Afterwards, we went over anti-infection medications. We also created a plan for her to study for her upcoming test."

"The student did much better in her assigned vocabulary and math practice tests, this time only missing a few questions on each. We then worked through another math drill and a spelling drill, and the student performed strongly on both of those also, especially the math. If Courtney can keep up her focus like this, she should have nothing to worry about on the exam."

"We continued studying the values of notes and rests. Started playing five finger patterns in white keys. Also, we continued reading rhythms and clapping them.

Guitar: Introduced first chord. Left Hand as well as Right Hand positions and basic finger movements."

"This session, we briefly discussed the next homework, and I have been working to explain some previous code to her. We agreed to look at previous homework in-depth, to help her prepare for her midterms and final. Specifically, we discussed a program that helps a user calculate, from left to right instead of using the archetypical order of operations. Also, we reviewed another program, that let a player know if their group of cards could lead to a hot or cold deck for blackjack."

"The student and I reviewed all of the studying and work that he has to do for all of his midterm exams. We reviewed the test structures and formats and agreed upon a set number of hours that he would study. In addition, he will text me on both Saturday and Sunday so that I know he has begun studying. All in all, he seems very confident about his midterms. Next week we will review his grades and scores and enter the results into his notebook so that, besides seeing his grades online, he can track and follow them in his own journal. In the upcoming week we will focus some more on note-taking and arranging more pieces of his personal calendar."

"During this session, we discussed more epidemiology topics, which built upon the concepts we discussed during our last session. We applied various epidemiology concepts to questions, as well as performed a critical analysis of an epidemiological research paper."

"Today we worked on the student's comparative essay for film studies. The paper was looking good when I left with a bit more work required."

"The student and I worked on math practice problems and techniques from the workbook he brought. He had good attitude, and focused for the entire session without a break. He did seem to need help on the fractions and decimals, as well as geometry. A few of the other types, such as graph reading, were not much of a challenge to him. I used some blank paper to write out the approaches to the selected problems, and gave these to him for reference."

"Today the student and I worked on an assignment for her research methods class. Her class is utilizing SPSS so the student felt that it would be appropriate for us to pick up where we left off with SPSS. Today, we specifically worked on citing in APA format, which included finding specific articles and citing each one of them. I showed her how to find the DOI, the volume and issue number, and the journal title. I also explained the rules of the APA manual 6th edition."
